otice. they’ve been advised to eat ittening foods and to drink milk rtween meals. According to the studio's way of »tang at it, Bette needs eight winds; Anita, 10; Ann, 12; Hivia, eight, and Marie, six. Hollywood has had some shockK examples of what happens to dresses who starve themselves no long. Studios clamp down on 1 these days. Clark Gable's most sincere imi•tor is Mickey Rooney. When fork wears a sport coat, buys a kind of shirt or turns his hat •P in front, so does Mickey. The amusing payoff is that Kckey, who used to ride around * a Ford, is now determined to a 12-cylinder custom built car “t like Gable’s new one. Only Mickey’s will be green while Clark's is brown. Don’t know how the Lane sisters ot Interested in the Hanging hardens of Babylon, but they've "ired a landscape architect to ?Pr them in a small way in their "Okyard, which is four acres in '!“• The terraces are already but the job is expected to W<e six months.

ARTMAN HOSTESS TO SOCIETY | The United Christian missionary 1 society of the First Christian I church met at the home of Mrs. A. I D. Artman Monday evening. The I meeting opened with prayer in unii son. Mrs. Artman was in charge of | a brief business meeting (luring ! which Mrs. Rene Hoffman was ap- ' pointed leader for the next meeting. Mrs. I lari Moffett was the leader for the evening with “And Jesus Said" as the subject. Ths hymn “Still With Thee” was sung followed .by Mrs. Moffett reading the following articles, "Strength”, “For the Daily Task.” “Courage to Face the Road". "Good Cheer” and "inward Joy.” After the singing of the hymn,

but Tyrone Power would like to do a Broadway play in November. He has a two months’ vacation coming after "Jesse James’’ and is lending an ear to the oilers of New York producers. Four already have approached him. The last time the star appeared i on Broadway was in 1936. when he supported Katharine Cornell in "Romeo and Juliet” and "Saint Joan”. These plays were the means of his getting the film break that ne had sought vainly in Hollywood. A new type of rumba is being born to fit the small dance floors of the La Conga, the Cubanola and | other Hollywood spots featuring I Latin rhythms. Best way tc describe it is that it cuts the hip action down. Jack Dunn and Movita have a version of their own which they call “the Valentino rumba”. Dunn is so good that he even can do it on ice skates. The California sun will be no good for Arleen Whelan even when it quits playing hookey. She can't expose herself for 30 minutes without getting a mass of freckles Has to camp under an umbrella when she goes to the beach. Franciska Gaal had to break seven mirrors in "Paris Honeymoon”.

It is, and it is a training school for our leaders of tomorrow. "In this camp there were 315 young Junior leaders representing 92 counties and we were just like ■ one large family working for the same goal, better leadership. We i all knew that we were chosen to I represent our counties and to bring : back all information possible to ■ make our chilis better; therefore | we attended as many classes as ■ possible. "The camp was held May 31 to June 4. at the Boy Scout camp near Indianapolis. Since I have ( been back home everyone keeps j asking me if I had fun. I certainly did, but it was mostly due to the interesting classes and capable leaders. People seem to forget that in leadership, play and work are both important to make a success. We attended classes tor leadership discussion in the mornings. In the afternoon we had recreation and music, and in the evenings we had entertainment. Therefore, you can see that we were busy most of the time. “The discussion groups proved to be very helpful because everyone had an opportunity to bring up questions about his or her : club, thus enabling us to see new ideas for our clubs. "During the first discussion period we discussed the good and bad qualities of a leader, thus enabling us to make ourselves better : in every way. No leader is perI feet, therefore we can always find

ways of improving ourselves. , “Another Interesting discussion class was conducted on the subject, Is our club work going In the right direction? Through this we learned that all clubs ure conducted differently, some bad and Borne good. Through all these points we were better able to determine the character of ours and to gather new ideas for our clubs. “The last discussion was important because it was one of the problems that Is a great trouble to almoat every club. We discussed such problems us demonstrations, camps, exhibits, trips, awards, picnics. and other things which come up every year In club work. It seems that every leader has a different idea: therefore no definite decision was made as to what was beat. "Besides these discussion classes, we were privileged to hear several interesting talks by noted club workers. “The afternoons were taken up by a music class, an organized recreation period, and swimming. Through these, we learned new things which we hope will be helpful to our clubs. Dr. Z. M. Smith, state club leader from Purdue stated in one of his talks that leadership is something that can't be given to us. He said It takes ability, urge and ambition to become a successful leader, and we have to acquire these for ourselves. "There are reasons for our wanting to become leaders. Therefore, I believe this camp is making our leaders of tomorrow better in every way. “What can we do to be better leaders? What are our responsibilities? These are some of the questions and important points stressed in leaders' camp. “Dr. Smith said we were in the camp to get assistance to help us to become better leaders. This is very true because there is no end to the road of developing leadership, because there are new problems arising every day. "I am sure I will use my camp training to the best of my ability, for my club and others, too."
